41. Jõulumäe Metsajooks

The Jõulumäe Forest Run takes place on the third Sunday of November, 15 November, bringing running enthusiasts from Pärnu County and beyond together for the 41st time in the scenic Jõulumäe dune pine forest. It is one of Jõulumäe’s oldest and most beloved races. Come celebrate this sporting tradition with us—it’s a day when the entire pine forest fills with happy participants, supporters cheering on the runners, and autumn colours.

The Forest Run is open to everyone who enjoys being active. In addition to the traditional 9 km main race, the programme includes shorter races for children (500 m, 1,000 m and 2,000 m). This year, jogging has been added alongside recreational walking. No times are recorded for these 5.6 km distances; participants can enjoy the activity for themselves.

Runners compete in 18 age categories. Early registration is open until 12.11.2026 at 23:59.

Recommendations:

To avoid unnecessary rushing on site, early registration is strongly recommended. By registering early, you help ensure the event is better organised—we know to expect you and can plan accordingly. You’ll also have more time to get ready on site. If registering on site, please arrive promptly and adhere to the registration schedule.
